Key Advantages

The Nikon COOLPIX L620 boasts a versatile 21x optical zoom lens, providing extensive focal range from wide-angle to super-telephoto. Its BSI CMOS sensor offers improved low-light performance over traditional CCD sensors. The built-in Optical VR effectively minimizes blur caused by hand vibration during shooting. Full HD video recording adds significant multimedia capability not always found in point & shoot cameras of its era. The camera’s large 3-inch LCD delivers bright and clear image display for effortless composition and review. Finally, the automatic scene selector simplifies photography by intelligently optimizing mode settings based on the detected environment.

Limitations

Despite its many strengths, the Nikon COOLPIX L620 has some limitations. It lacks manual exposure control options that more advanced users might desire. The rear LCD does not support touchscreen functionality, which limits ease of navigation compared to newer models. The camera does not have Wi-Fi or NFC connectivity, restricting wireless file transfer and remote control features. Its burst shooting speed is relatively slow, capped at about 2.7 frames per second. Low light performance, while improved, still suffers some noise at higher ISO settings typical for compact cameras. Lastly, the lens aperture range is limited (f/3.3-5.9), resulting in lower light-gathering ability at full zoom.
